The Environmental DNA Society actively encourages research presentations by junior high and high school students at its Annual Meeting. The junior high and high school presentation session provides an opportunity for students (either individually or in groups) to present research projects. For the Yamaguchi Meeting, this session will be held online.

In hosting the junior high and high school presentation session online, we invite members of the society, as well as junior and senior high school students and others who are interested in environmental DNA analysis, to register for participation via the link at the bottom of this page. Registered participants will receive the Zoom meeting URL by email in early December. Please note that registration will close on November 30, 2025.
